Portion control

  I am taping this to my fridge to remind me everytime.

One serving (three ounces) of meat, poultry or fish is about the size of a deck of playing cards or the palm of a woman's hand.

One serving (one-half cup) of fruit, vegetables, pasta or rice is about the size of a small fist.

One serving (one ounce) of cheese is about the size of your thumb.

One serving (one cup) of milk, yogurt, or chopped fresh greens is about the size of a small hand holding a tennis ball.
